Sense of Scale:
I was able to capture a person under the ellipse to show the size relationship. It was windy and raining so I had to edit the picture to make it what it is now.
Positive and Negative Space:
Different, but I wanted to use this installation for the negative space inside each isolated ellipse. Could possibly used this as framing because the front ellipse has both ellipses in its view.
Hard/Soft Light:
So I painted a black accent wall in my room some months ago, who knew I would be using it as my backdrop. In this photo I had to set a ring light on my desk to capture me along with a timer. I made some serious faces at first, but I later decided to just have fun. I was able to explore with it a little bit more by modifying the vibrance, texture, clarity, and the white & black point with the use of Lightroom and the techniques I learned in class. Overall, I believe I have discovered a new profile picture.. lol
